As the core structure of high voltage switch, contact assumes the important responsibility of closing and opening. In recent years, with the application of high voltage switch in high voltage, high current power system more and more common, the performance requirement of switch contact is also higher and higher. High voltage switch can make the arc current between contacts form the longitudinal magnetic field parallel to them through specific contact structure, the longitudinal magnetic field acts on arc current, can make the ion near the anode greatly increase, reduce arc voltage, reduce the ablation to contact, make diffusion type arc turn to cluster type arc, improve the arc extinguishing ability of arc extinguishing chamber. In order to improve the arc extinguishing performance, arc extinguishing chamber usually increases the diameter of contact, but blindly increasing the diameter of contact will lead to the excessive quality of contact, waste too much operating power, also will lead to the excessive load of mechanism, and will affect the overall life of arc extinguishing chamber in the long run.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a high voltage switch contact structure. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model discloses a high voltage switch contact structure to solve the problem in the background art.

The top of the arc extinguishing chamber is provided with a gas cylinder. The static contact is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the arc extinguishing chamber through a spring. The moving contact penetrates the gas cylinder and is inserted into the arc extinguishing chamber. The periphery of the moving contact and the static contact is provided with a guide pin. The end of the gas cylinder is further provided with a pressing rod. The periphery of the moving contact is provided with a pressing ring matched with the pressing rod.

[0006] The side wall of the arc extinguishing chamber is provided with a sandwich layer. A winding group and an exhaust pipe are arranged in the sandwich layer. The exhaust pipe is communicated with the inside of the gas cylinder. The inner wall of the arc extinguishing chamber is provided with a nozzle communicated with the exhaust pipe.

[0007] The inner wall of the arc extinguishing chamber is provided with an arc extinguishing ring. The end of the arc extinguishing chamber is further provided with an exhaust hole.

[0008] Further, the gas cylinder is in the form of a circular ring structure and is filled with sulfur hexafluoride gas. The pressing rod is located inside the arc extinguishing chamber. The gas outlet hole of the gas cylinder is connected with the nozzle through the exhaust pipe. The moving contact can move up and down in the opening hole in the middle of the gas cylinder. The outer diameter of the pressing ring is larger than the diameter of the opening hole in the middle of the gas cylinder.

[0009] Further, the number of arc-extinguishing rings is several, and the arc-extinguishing rings are arranged equidistantly along the inner wall of the arc-extinguishing chamber from top to bottom, and the inner wall of the arc-extinguishing ring is provided with sawtooth-shaped arc-extinguishing teeth in a ring shape.

[0010] Further, the guide needle is in a conical structure, and the guide needles are arranged in a ring shape.

[0011] Further, the exhaust hole is provided with a one-way exhaust valve, which allows gas to be discharged from the arc-extinguishing chamber and does not allow gas to enter.

[0012] Further, a sealing ring is arranged between the contact surface of the moving contact and the air cylinder.

[0013] Further, the inner cavity bottom of the arc-extinguishing chamber is provided with a limiting tube, and the static contact is inserted into the limiting tube through a spring.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] Under the cooperation of the arc-extinguishing ring and the guide needle, when the arc is generated between the moving contact and the static contact, the guide needle can guide the arc to the arc-extinguishing ring and the arc on the guide needle is continuously cut by the arc-extinguishing ring, so that the arc is divided into small segments, and the arc is cut multiple times due to the self-streaming of the arc and the arc teeth on the arc-extinguishing ring, so that the arc is divided into smaller arc segments, and finally the arc is quickly extinguished.

[0016] When the moving contact and the static contact are separated, the pressing ring on the moving contact also extrudes the pressing rod, so that the sulfur hexafluoride gas in the air cylinder is extruded into the exhaust pipe and is sprayed out through the nozzle. Since the sulfur hexafluoride gas belongs to a strong electronegative gas, the molecules of the gas easily absorb free electrons to form negative ions with large mass, which weakens the collision ionization process of the arc in the arc-extinguishing chamber. The sprayed gas is discharged through the one-way exhaust hole, and the high-pressure gas in the arc-extinguishing chamber can also be discharged together, so that the temperature inside the arc-extinguishing chamber is reduced.

[0024] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 As shown in the drawings, a high-voltage switch contact structure is provided, which is applied to a high-voltage switch and comprises a moving contact 1, a stationary contact 2 and an arc extinguishing chamber 3. The top of the arc extinguishing chamber 3 is provided with an air cylinder 4. The stationary contact 2 is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the arc extinguishing chamber 3 through a spring 5.

The inner wall of the arc extinguishing ring 12 is annularly provided with sawtooth-shaped arc extinguishing teeth 14.

[0028] In the embodiment, the moving contact 1 moves downward to connect with the static contact 2 and realize closing, the spring below the static contact 2 and the limiting tube can allow the static contact 2 to produce a certain displacement, so as to avoid the moving contact 1 from repeatedly colliding due to the reaction force and producing more arc;

[0029] In the contact process of the moving contact 1 and the static contact 2, arc is generated between them, the arc is guided by the guide needle 6 to the arc extinguishing ring 12 on the arc extinguishing chamber 3 at the first time, and the energized winding set 9 generates a magnetic field between the moving contact 1 and the static contact 2, at this time, the winding set is equivalent to the stator in the asynchronous motor, and the arc is equivalent to the rotor, which rotates around the moving contact 1 and the static contact 2 under the action of the magnetic field; and in the contact process of the two, the moving contact 1 is in a state of continuous movement, and the arc also moves downward under the action of the guide needle 6, which is cut into small arcs by the arc extinguishing ring 12, the small arcs rotate under the action of the magnetic field, and are further cut off by the arc extinguishing teeth 14 inside the arc extinguishing ring 12 to form smaller arcs, and finally quickly extinguish;
